Account Name:栄Hasaki Ryo"If it rusts, it can never be trusted.If its owner fails to control it, it will cut him.Yes, pride isLike a blade."

“When I was a kid I used to think killing was wrong, now it just feels like winning.”

“What is right? What is wrong? In this mixed up world, deciding what is right and wrong is not easy. You can't just go by somebody else's rules. If you let yourself be controlled like that, you'll just become a puppet that can't make decisions on it's own. You have to live by your rules.”

Physical Description:A tall man standing only slightly taller than most men his age, however with his long torso he stands out a bit, being his torso makes up most of his length not his legs like most people, his arms stretch down to just about his hip line. He has lightly tanned skin from his long period of times outside working in hard labor that also resulted in his sleek muscular build it’s not over kill buff or roid rage but enough to show he works out. His wild thick spiky bright red hair seems to blend perfectly with burgundy eyes that look almost demonic.

Though fairly young of age being only twenty but looks much younger as if he could pass to be 17 or 18. He has no stubble or facial hair despite his hair seeming so wild and unkempt. He often has a goofy smirk that lightens moods, but when rather serious he has a look in his eyes that fill with determination and killing intent. He has a large scar down his right shoulder to the left side of his hip and a small round scar on his left shoulder. He also has dozens of scars on his back long fat ones, small short ones and even burns all littering his back. However above all these horrible scars is his guild imprint on the base of his neck.

Clothing:

Starting at his feet he wears a pair of low cut black combat boots tuck into a pair of olive colored hakama held up by a long black obi tied in the front that hangs loosely. Wearing a black shitagi that fits snugly to his chest held firmly against him by a breastplate. The breastplate fits firmly around his chest to around his back a few inches from Ryo's armpit, the bottom stopping just shy of his waist and the top stopping a few inches away from his collar bone. All of this is covered up with a tan sand like colored haori that looks tattered along the edges.

Accessories:Strong metal bracers and necklace with a key ornament on it.Extra: A single large scar running from his right shoulder down his left side of his chest to his hip.

As a SlaveAfter slaveryC ClassB/A Rank

Ryo is pretty laid back for the most part, beside his horrific past that he rarely speaks off; he is pretty open and friendly person. He is a person who only wants to relax and have fun. At times Ryo will act a tad perverted, but most the time he will act clueless and goofy. Ryo enjoys the little things and lives life as it comes, as he thinks being serious all the time isn't enjoying life to its fullest. Ryo is deep down a really caring guy who cares deeply about all who he befriends despite he considers people friends quickly.

Though Ryo enjoys most simple things, but most of all that he enjoys, highly alcoholic drinks and anything free. Free is Ryo's favorite word in the world, if something is free Ryo will happily take it no matter what it is. It’s not that he is a cheap skate or anything its more or less he isn't one for high end expensive luxury items and such. The only items Ryo ever seems to pay allot of jewels on is swords and gifts for his guild, he sees that swords as his trade thus are worth the money, and his friends are worth the world. There is one thing however Ryo likes more even more than a deal at the local tavern for a free sword with every 40 ales you drink. That would be his friends and guild. He would give his life for his friends, without hesitating. To Ryo his friends are the most important thing to cherish in life.

Ryo hates however serious people, he finds them rather bothersome and thinks they just drag everyone down. He finds them to often unable to truly have fun or know what’s really important and thus are not worth his time to befriend. What he hates more so however is slavery, anyone who enslaves another person will only find themselves with one angry swordsmen to deal with. To take away another freedom, to take away another person chance to live there life as they see feet and keep them alive, is the cruelest thing you can do in Ryo's eyes.

A few other things that’s grinds this swordsman gears are: Cocky people, they just get on Ryo's nerves because he doesn't think anyone no matter how strong they are, can truly be amazing all the time, everyone has downfalls. Stereotyping or Stereotypical dark mages: few things get under Ryo's skin more than people who type cast dark mages as people who are so senseless, heartless or violent that for a laugh they bust into your house for no reason at all kill all of your faimly and goldfish, it just makes no sense! And those few mages that DO act those stereotypes out or take advantage of it and use it for personal gain just deserve to be pummeled into a lump of flesh, at least that’s what Ryo thinks. Guns: Ryo absolutely HATES guns, they are loud, smell of gun powder and just about even the average joe can use them to kill someone, its bothers Ryo with all the above reasons why people just don’t use a swords its by for more personal and quite.

Ryo isn’t the brightest when it comes to magic but he still tries his best, though he has short comings when it comes to studying thus his overall power in magic proficiency will always be low. Another of Ryo's trademark faults would be that he has no sense of direction; the slightest bit of directions seems to be lost on this man as he quickly and easily gets lost in the simplest paths.

In a fight he becomes rather serious, anyone who has any fighting will or a weapon is a combatant and thus will get no mercy. Ryo has no problem with killing or destroying things so long as there is a good reason: Money, a Mission, you are in his way during something important, you made him angry. All of these are reasons for Ryo to slaughter or destroy everything in his path. He isn’t the greatest mage, but without doubt he is a brilliant swordsman, with a great passion for his craft. Ryo however is a tad narrow sighted he can get, when it comes to a full blown battle he is always thinking of his next step against his enemy. Beyond that battle however there isn't a single thought about it. He lives mostly in the now and what can be done, not what could be done or should have been done.

History

Backstory

Ryo was born to a blacksmith family with a fair amount of prestige in a decent sized town near Aster Town. He trained hard along his father to become a blacksmith like him and pick up the family trade, at just the age 10 he was known for his keen blades, and even keener skill with them, as it turned out there was a small group of bandits that where assaulting the local hills outside of the town, stopping all the small traders, unable to afford any sort of request for a guild to take care of the bandits, they grew bold and entered the town and tried to force the town's mayor to let them take over the town during a town meeting.

Ryo thou still a young boy, drew his short blade and cursed the bandits with all sort of profanity and insults. The bandits angered by this aimed to make an example of the boy only to quickly be disarmed by the small boy with some quick moves. With just one of the bandits in shock of this the other villagers rose up quickly and ran the bandits out of town. This was the only time Ryo would be able to feel appreciated for his efforts however.

A merchant from one town over began to visit the town with the bandits now gone. He sold books and knick knacks and the sort, however what he sold was not what caught this young boys eye. It was the merchants’ daughter Akio. She was a bit older then Ryo but he made quick friends with her and for the next few years to come the two would be the best of friends. Akio was a celestial wizard who was already on her way to become a great mage. She began to teach Ryo simply tricks and basic magical knowledge though Ryo seemed to have no knack for magic at all often failing even simple trick despite having some magical power. That didn't seem to stop Akio from being blown away by Ryo's growing skill in his swordsmen ship. He hadn't stopped training for a single day since he started at a young age.

Everything seemed to be going great as the two fell in love after a few months however, this would be one of the biggest times of change in Ryo's life. As after all this time, the bandits would return this time in greater numbers, unlike last time however they didn't want the town, and they wanted the town’s people. The town’s people tried to fight back but were quickly overcome and enslaved. They were taken all over Fiore being sold and worked till they couldn’t stand. Ryo was now 17 years old and still a slave with no hope of being freed. He was sold to a small dark guild to mine a magical stone from a cave deep in some jungle. Ryo had honed his skills every night when he wasn’t working in these caves, keeping his swordsmanship still alive as much as possible in the hope of at least one day slaying his masters.

That day came but at the same time Ryo wished he never had. Akio had spent all these years looking for Ryo, the man she loved, searching left and right spending every jewel she got to get information on his whereabouts. Finally getting a good lead, she gathered a few mages and charged through the jungle to the dark guilds encampment. As they fought Akio made her way into the caves freeing everyone she came by eventually getting to Ryo, just as then where able to embrace each other for the first time in years, their moment was ruined as the master of the guild had made his retreat into the caves finding Ryo and Akio alone. This man was Zealos, a fire mage, and head of Dragon Fang.

Akio would engage Zealos, however she was no match for him and in a spinning dervish of flames she would fall to the ground burnt to a crisp before Ryo's eyes. In rage Ryo would grab a mining pick and attack Zealous only to be greeted with a fireball. Sent against the wall and thought to be dead, however as Zealos would begin to make his departure claiming victory as he began to rant how his magic was greater than any other. A pick would find its way into his skull. Ryo stood battered but victorious over the mages body; he was hurt greatly but not down and out. Rhe years or forced labor and beatings had made him strong and determined. Slowly he would make his way to his lovers charred corpse and grieve over it. Peace was not given to him however as he was not left unattended for long as another Dragon Fang mage made his way into the cave seeming to have defeated the other mages, and had come to fetch his master, he would only find his masters corpse and a man crying over a charred body.

Without warning the mage would charge at Ryo with a blade and strike him down, cutting him from his shoulder to hip. Ryo would fall to the ground unable to take anymore abuse or pain, and would fall lifeless to the ground bleeding out. The mage would quickly flee the scene through the cave, soon claiming the title as the new guild master.

A few days later Ryo would emerge from the jungle, he had patched himself up as best he could, and given a burial for his beloved. Wearing one of her keys around his neck, he would never let himself forget this tragedy. There was hope however, while searching the cave, Ryo searched the body of Zealous, and found he was not bluffing about wielding a great magic. He had found a very rare tome on fire magic. Ryo would begin to study this and use this magic to fuel his revenge, and fulfill what Akio longer could. He would bring down Dragon Fang and become a great mage in Akio's stead.

This then Ryo has traveled the land searching for the guild and destroying any of their mages he could find. He has continued his swordsmen ship in his travels seeing its great effect against mages, quickly becoming a mage killer of sorts. Learning how to fight against all sorts of magic and much more. However due to Ryo's nature and his magic he was given a nickname by the Fiore citizens "The Wildfire" as Ryo seemed to appear without warning and only leave a burning mess in his wake as trouble always seemed to find him, and he would leave it in ruins.

Early Guild Life

Ryo came into working with a strange girl by the names of Lucia and Lorelei, being a split personality of some sort. He has found his first friend in a long time and followed her for a short time but they have gotten close, choosing to carry on by joining a guild they set their sights on Tartaros.

Continuing to rise in power and in reputation in Tartaros by becoming the top rookie the guild in a short amount of time. His magic and skills had grown to grow far beyond what they were when he joined, and in return as he started his climb up the ladder in the guild. He's served a crime organization known as Ragnarok taking on several knights and offical mages along with nearly single handedly destroying the Blue Peagsus Vacation Mansion, as well as completed numerous requests from the Tartaros Request Board. These requests and missions have varied from smuggling, stealing, sabotage, grave robbing, robbing a bank, as well as kidnapping.

Lucia/Lorelie vanished from the guild hall and has not been seen in month, while he ended up teaming up with a young yato girl named Yahma who fell madly in love with him. The two along with a ice mage known as Tyveris were the start of the most destructive team Tartaros had ever seen but their time passed quickly as Tyveris stopped taking missions. As time passed however Ryo built a new team, though the members slowly drifted apart Ryo kept using the Name "The Wrecking Crew" to strike fear into Fiore, making The Wreckers the top team known in the underworld. " The Wrecking Crew" a name Lucia had picked out ages ago when she and Ryo first joined that Ryo has chosen to keep her spirit alive.

Bosco War

Unprovoked and unwarranted the sibling nation of Bosco didn't just march into Fiore but carved a path of destruction that spread to every corner of Fiore. Ryo was originally tasked with defending several clients resources and property against the Bosco invasion. Joining the Fiorian army and the mages that took up arms against Bosco in Acacia. It was true war, a grim battlefield filled the city. Ryo was able to hold a gate with a few handful of knights against countless Bosco advances. It was only when Grand General Stonrich and his lieutenants took the field that things truly turned bloody. Defeating one of them as they attempted to use Acacia against them Ryo only returned to the gate he was holding to find enough massacred, Stronrich and his right hand lieutenant Gennova had killed everyone Ryo fought so hard to keep alive and defend the city. Ryo attempted to fight the two of them on his own but quickly fell into Gennova's magic trap, only to be offered a place under Stronrich's tutelage. Ryo refused the offer and attempted to gravely wound Stronrich ignoring Gennova only to be smashed repeatedly into the ground till he was near dead and left to rot with the dead on the battlefield.

Surviving but just barely Ryo rejoined the Fiorian army and the mages this time looking to actually defend Fiore of his own choice and desire. The first counter attack was taking back Poinsetta which was a complete victory. Along side some of the strongest Mages in Fiore they decimated the Bosco forces and left them scattered to the win. This lead to the final push against the commanders of the Bosco Army, coming across the Bosco Prince and his two Grand General's one of which was Stonrich of course. Fighting with a elite strike force they were able to find out that the Prince was after something buriend and ancient in Fiore. Nearly Beating him too it a battle broke out deep underground for the fate of the war. With help from a few outside sources they were able to defeat the Bosco leaders and send the army packing. It left Ryo feeling quite empty and incomplete however, it wasn't the death, the skill people had outside of Fiore left him wanting to get every stronger, to learn more swordsmanship styles and arts.

It looks like a wand but only made of cheap plastic which isn't suitable for hitting anyone.Effect/Function:This item is somehow connected to its owner that it won't work with other people. Thrice per thread, the owner could launch a fireworks effect from the wand at the white tip. The firework could go as high as normal fireworks go, 100 feet or so, and would produce a colorful display of fireworks. Do note that these fireworks are more of a none threatening display and more of an illusion. So the fireworks doesn't produce heat or could even hurt anyone. Also the noise it produced isn't that deafening and is tolerable. Might be good for distractions, entertaining people or for an SOS flare to get help. There is a cool down of 3 posts before the next fire work could be launched.

Name: Deceiver's DaggerClass: BDescription: A small dagger whose blade measures 60cm (24in), it is an incredibly ornate and weapon with bronze and ivory hilt and a opalescent blade constructed of a fine metal alloy, forged into a straight double-edged design. Strange unearthly jewels adorn the pommel and the hilt, but they appear more like mirrors whose surface appear to constantly swirl with a dark violet magic that appears contained inside. The dagger was crafted from the remnants of a powerful ancient being and gifted to those who conquered it and saved countless lives.Effect/Function: Upon activation, the jewels embedded in the dagger glow with a strange and mysterious power. Visibly, this is the only aspect of the power that can be seen. The truth of the power is perhaps more sinister. Invisible magic appears around the blade, shooting forward a length equal to the blade's edge with B-Rank durability and sharpness. Effectively, the length of the blade is doubled, but the magical blade is invisible to the naked eye, though a highly trained eye (over 50 accuracy) can see the faint shimmers that tell the tale of its ability. This allows one to catch enemies off guard as they will think they are out of reach of the weapon, but manage to get injured by something they can not see. This clever deception lasts for only 2 posts with a 3 post cooldown. Hostile enemy demons require an additional 10 accuracy to see the blade. The metal blade will also glow faintly in the presence of the demons."What is a lie? 'Tis but the truth in masquerade."

Hasaki Style Swordsmanship: Ryo has trained with swords since he was a very young child. He has never given up his passion for swords. He's mastered using every kind of swords, and knows how to use swords as well as his own hands. After learning many different styles and combat situations he has go beyond just a skilled swordsman but to that of a swordsman creating his own style of swordsmanship.

Basic Principles: Creating chaos upon the battlefield, misleading your enemy purposely luring them into another position or overconfidence, utilizing every part of your weapon and body simultaneously, to never cut down the defenseless only those with weapons or those who stand against you.

Beginner Level Techniques:Bastion: A Battojutsu assault technique: Ryo rushes at the target as fast as possible however instead of fully drawing his sword his thrusts his hilt into the targets torso area two to four times before on the last thrust fully drawing his blade in a quick spinning vertical slash.

Adept Level Techniques:Silver Flash: A Battojutsu technique: Ryo draws his blade as he word normally however purposely using a katana or curved shaped blade, swinging at the enemies’ blade turning the back of the blade to parrying the blade and striking the enemy with a back slash.Wind Hymn:A counter attack/Defensive technique: As the enemy thrusts their blade Ryo spinning his blade mocking a windmill after about 4 rotations Ryo strikes in a diagonal upward strike, turning in the processes and stabbing behind him at the target making this counter attack a fast and nearly unpredictable double attack that can sometimes leave the opponent disarmed.

Ambidextrous: Ryo was one of the few people in the world that can use both hands instead of just one, he is able to write with both hands, wield a sword, throw weapons,

Moderate Hand to Hand Combat Training: As part of his training and combat experience Ryo has developed hand to hand combat skills varying from simple street fighting tricks, boxing, and basic martial arts, taijutsu, and tai kwan do moves.

Taste of Old: Ryo has been drinking since he was freed from his slavery. He has built up a extremely high tolerance for alcohol, he has drank so much alcohol over the years going more than four days without any alcohol in his system he will undergo withdrawals. First his hands will shake, his body will then start to ache, his vision will then start to blur. He will lose strength and feel a great amount of fatigue; lastly he will begin to hallucinate. Worst of all however is the fact the longer Ryo goes without any alcohol memories that he had started to drink to forget will begin to haunt and come back to him, making him quite in pain, on edge, and unable to focus.

Bonds Broken: Being a slave for half his life Ryo trained his body every single day. While in slavery Ryo has met fellow slave, people from all over Earthland. He has learned about all sorts of cultures, myths, monsters, and trades from all over the land. Most of all however Ryo spent a lot of time with prisoners of war, these soldiers are what kept Ryo together and focused in swordsmanship when he was a slave, they also however instructed him in military strategy, how that had lost battles, how they had been captured, and strategies that had used themselves. These all turned into lesson for Ryo to use in battles of his own and how to command his team in a battle, making the man who is usually the last person you want for advice in all other matters the man you want to ask for his take on things.

Magic Description: A truly complex and destructive magic, that’s only purpose is that to destroy everything the caster wishes reducing it to nothing. The complicated magic quite literally has a spell to ignite and destroy everything. The magic combines that of the physical world, the magic world and worlds beyond knowledge into a power that brings everything back to nothingness. However Ryo being that of a amateur at best mage, can’t make heads or tails of the magic, and thus has simplified most of the spells for him to use not only changing the power of the spell but the shape and its effect.

Techniques: 83/89 (67 + 22 bought)

Blast Zone - (10)Type: OffensiveRange: 100 metersEffect: Originally the spell would create a powerful slash of pure destructive force that would ignite everything in its path ablaze and reduce it to ash. However Ryo unable to call forth such power or manipulate such a complicated spell he has dumped it down into an EXTREME form. Ryo focuses his power into a object in his hands or into his hand itself. Then calling for the spell, unlike its originally form, a magic circle is summoned and erupts with a barrage of flaming arcs that shoot out like a long ranged shotgun blast that create a chain reaction of explosions on impact.Each arc is about 1 foot long in a crescent shape[2 post cool down]

Massacre Wisps - (10)Type: SupportiveRange: Self with orbit of 80 metersEffect: Originally meant to summon great and powerful monsters of destruction that would destroy anything in the users path, however unable to amass the power and control to do so, Ryo is only able to summon these destructive servants, Burning Wisps. There wisps are able to enchant a single item with movement, by possessing said item. For example they could possess a chair and make the chair move under Ryo's will. However unlike the mental magic form of this many would compare it to, the wisp is still visible and is the weak point in this magic, if the wisp is damage in any manner it instantly vanishes. Each wisp is about the size of a baseball and can only lift up to 25 pounds per wisp. The Wisps move at Ryo’s base speed and half his Power. The wisps are not affected by buffs and can’t be buffed. [4 post cool down] [The number of wisp summoned increase by 1 per every rank of the spell]

Flame Imbue - (7)Type:SupportiveRange: PersonalEffect: Imbues flames Ryo's feet enhancing it with a fire, producing a flame effect that makes it seem as if fire is bursting from Ryo's feet propelling him giving off a slight heat but nothing truthfully harmful however it still allows him to fly up to 100 meters max in the air but also gives him freedom of movement able to do flips spins and the like while flying or hovering. (2 post cool down)

Obliteration Mode - (10)Type:SupportiveRange: selfEffect: Originally called Embodiment and Wake of Obliteration, Ryo thought it was to long to use in battle, thus changed the name of the spell as he could truly not use the full power of the spell. Originally the spell would create a torrent of flames that would then shoot out in a wave in all direction burning and destroying everything around the user. Yet again though this was a tad too much control for Ryo to use and thus was really only able to master one part of the spell.

Ryo is able to ignite his own magical energy like a fuel for his fire that makes his whole body burst into a non-harmful flame to himself. This flame armor that covers his whole body deals explosive fire damage to others on contact and the fire acts like renforcement to Ryo's body in the form of his whole body is enveloped in spinning fire forming a sort of burning Armor equal to S-rank. Each explosion goes out in a splash out half a meter from his body this may only occur four times per post.(3 post cooldown)

10- S-rank burning Armor with rank 9 explosion on contact (causing a extreme pain to the affected area and able damage the toughest materials like diamonds and magically crafted items.)contact [5 post duration]

Wyvern's Roar- (10)Type: Offensive/presenceRange: X diameterEffect: Wyvern's Roar was not in the Creation Bane tome that Ryo had recovered from Dragon Fang. It was only slightly mentioned in the ending pages as notes of the last user, its is the embodiment of combining ones own nature and spirit with creation bane and casting it outward. This usually have a rather chilling effect on all of those around the caster, allies included, however unable to fully understand how to pull this off the user never wrote more. This is where Ryo took his swordsmanship training and brought it to the table to create a spell of his own to the Creation Bane list of spells.

Quickly gathering magical energy around one’s body and charging it with your own resolve and determination then without losing focus pushing it outward with magical force. The devastating effect for Ryo results in a heat wave that hits all around him with a strong force. The hot air and the like that is generated does not what so ever in ANY case literally burn or scar those hit by it, only feels in terms of pain that it is burning at higher levels.Cool down: 5 posts
